Bud Trimmers

This is one of the more hands on sides of the job that involves more of a creative way to evaluate the plant.

There is more labor required but if you remain diligent the payoff could be big. Bud trimmers is a low-level entry job that involves working with the plant directly. The general wage is around $13 hourly but some individuals get paid by the pound, which can range between 100-200 a pound.

This job can be very tedious at times using little scissors to cut the flower from the stem. It is vital that all trimmers only get what is required so you don’t waste any of the buds. Not the most glamorizing gig in the industry but it teaches you attention to detail and allows you to start on the ground floor and work your way through the ranks.
